I love this product and now have bought it in three colors. The Nude is my favorite color. I like to have a little added color to my lips, but not having thick gloss or lipstick on them. I've tried other lipstains and they stain in color that is not intended, are uneven and taste bad. This is pretty true to its color. You also have a second to wipe off if you apply wrong.

To use: I put balm on my lips about 15 min prior to applying the stain. Wipe off balm, apply stain and when stain is dry, reapply balm. It is a very natural looking stain.
